RE: [HtmlUnit] Error when submitting a form based on javascript.s ubmit()

[Tom H. <Tom...@fu...>]

Ok.  What I have is a form that is submitted via an anchor tag.  The tag
calls javascript:formName.submit()

The exception I get here is this:
Exception class=[org.mozilla.javascript.JavaScriptException]
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.ScriptException:
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.JavaScriptEngine.execute(JavaScript
Engine.java:196)
	at
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlPage.executeJavaScriptIfPossible(Html
Page.java:767)
	at
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlAnchor.click(HtmlAnchor.java:68)

I have tried different approaches - like calling form.submit() in the test
harness - but this just does a javascript form submit().  If I do this I get
a different exception.  

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.getResponseBody(HttpMethodBase.
java:670)

	at
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient.getPage(WebClient.java:242)
	at
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlForm.submit(HtmlForm.java:137)

What I am actually getting back from the server is a 100 - Continue -
presumably with no body.  What is actually happening is that the page should
be redirected to another page (struts forward).  So I'm a bit confused as
why I am getting errors?

You help is most welcome....

There isn't enough information here to be sure but I'd guess that this 
form contains an element with the name "submit".  HtmlUnit is then 
finding that element before it finds the submit() method and is trying 
to execute it.
